Excursion Risk Assessment Template

Services are required to develop risk assessments for a number of circumstances, including excursions. Other examples are for:

  • Sleep & Rest
  • Regular Transportation of Children
  • Safe Arrival of Children
  • Emergency & Evacuation.

These risk assessments must address certain matters, which means a generic risk assessment template won’t meet the requirements of the Education and Care Services National Regulations.

This template addresses all matters referred to in regulation 101 of the Education and Care Services National Regulations.

In accordance with regulation 100 of the Education and Care Services National Regulations, this risk assessment must be carried out before authorisation is sought for an excursion.

Services should refer to their excursion policies and procedures when using this template.

Download your FREE template for excursions to make sure you’re complying with the National Quality Framework and minimising the risk of harm to children in your service.

Acknowledgement of Country

At Firefly HR, we acknowledge the traditional owners of the land we work & connect with you from today. As a base, Firefly HR connects from the land of the Garigal or Caregal people, and would like to acknowledge all 29 clan groups of the Eora Nation.

At Firefly HR, we connect – although online, and meet by story sharing, learning, taking on non verbal queues, deconstruct and reconstruct information, and move in non linear directions at times. We use symbols without realising, and link with our own land and community.

This is all interconnected. We are utilising Aboriginal pedagogy with these processes and in our daily work.

We acknowledge the land that we are on today has been the core of all spirituality, language, knowledge, and sacred sites. This knowledge is what us and others need to embrace to ensure a future for our children and our children’s children.

We need to hear, respectfully, and listen.

As a guiding principle to the National Quality Framework that Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures are valued, we are working on building the foundations here and believe a strong, meaningful acknowledgement of country is important.
